Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Immortals]

As long as Erdogan the hypocrite keeps supplying cheap Baku Oil to Israil and carries on the massive trade with them, Turkey is not in danger.

Erdogan isn’t even in charge of Turkey anymore. He is a frail old man who has to read word for word off a teleprompter. He looks like he is suffering from dementia and cognitive decline.

He’s a figure head at this point.

How much of a role do you think these 'reformists' played in the MoU?

A lot. It’s like asking how much role do democrats have in US policies.

The reformists have say in the system and it’s not as conservative dominated as people assume. Israel is far more right wing and ultra nationalist than Iran is believe it or not.

Iran is filled with these individuals who want nothing more than to be banana countries of the West like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan. They argue behind closed doors that resistance is futile and we just give up to America and they will accept us (delusional).

It would be fair to assume that the MoU was agreed by whoever or whatever is calling the shots in Iran.

That’s not how Iran works. Iran is like a puzzle of factions. Each with its own power center and influence. When Khamenai was alive he played the factions off each other while making sure no one got more powerful than him, it was a delicate balancing act and it worked because he was only the 2nd Supreme Leader.

Right now there are power vacuums and some factions want to influence the outcome to enrich themselves and their faction at the expense of the nation (much like Trump is doing in his 2nd term with his cronies).

Iran going back 150+ years has had these treacherous reformist factions and pragmatist factions under different names and ideals but the ultimate goal is the same: surrender the country to the greater powers and be able to get Paid to be their lackey.

CNN report citing ship tracking data says that Iran is losing control over strait of hormuz:

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/08/18/business/iran-strait-of-hormuz-oil

Its the main headline right now.

Report saying 80% ships are using Omani route in US naval protection and ignoring Iran warnings.

Its hard to believe, its a choke point and Iran is all around it. Iran can fire from anywhere. Also its hard to believe that US navy is that close to Iran giving protection to shipping. Maybe Iran is signaling its willing to restart talks ?

The only ones who know what's really going on in the smoke-filled backrooms are the ones who are in the rooms.

Everyone else is merely speculating.

The CNN authors last name is “Goldman”. You can chunk that analysis straight into the trash. More Zionist propaganda that everything is going fine.

Reality is on a good day 5-7MBPD are missing on a bad day 10MBPD+…pre war traffic was 20MBPD

Is oil getting thru? Absolutely, I am the one pointing that out for weeks. But the shortfall is still noticeable. The dark transits have merely bought the US time.

How much time? Now that is what’s actually up for debate

UAE halts all trade, financial ties with Iran after Tehran missile scare

The UAE has halted all trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Iran after reporting two missiles launched from Iranian territory. The move sharpens tensions around the Strait of Hormuz as stalled US-Iran talks and recent shipping incidents fuel wider security concerns.

Iran rejects UAE’s missile claim, warns of ‘false-flag operations’

Iran rejects a UAE claim that Tehran launched two ballistic missiles towards the country, urging vigilance over a history of “false-flag operations” seeking to implicate blameless parties.

Interesting, the interceptions of yesterday must not was cheap.

I wonder how many people inside UAE state know the truth: Traitors.
And how many people inside UAE state believe the official bullshit: Dumbfucks.

Iran’s love for restraint has cost it dearly since the Syrian war.

In 2015, an Israeli air strike in Syria near the Golan killed a Iranian General in charge of Syrian operations and the son of one of the original founders of Hezbollah and their most brilliant operative.

What Nasrallah do in response? A token attack on some border patrol unit.

What did Iran do in response? Nothing just empty threats about time and place.

That in my opinion was the single most tragic mistake that Iran and Hezbollah committed and it foreshadowed the great demise of the Axis of Resistance in the years to come.

After Israel realized it could kill high level Iranian and Hezbollah operatives and pay no meaningful price, it kicked off a decade of Israeli assassinations on Iranian and HZ forces in Syria and Lebanon, ultimately culminating in the Solemani assassination in 2020.

When faced with the loss of their strongest general and the glue and mastermind of the axis of resistance network, what did Iran do? Did it declare war and say enough is enough and that it must respond dimly? No just more strategic patience, Restraint and failure to uphold deterrence.

This feebleness by Iran and Hezbollah also know was as the Khamenai and Nasrallah doctrine, ultimately lead to the deaths of both of these leaders and large number officials from IRGC and HZ.

And yet it appears Iran is once again exercising restraint against the U.S. with hopes that “this time will be different”.

History says otherwise.

History says otherwise.

2008 was the year that Iran should have at least tried to show the world what its capable of. Thats when Iran held the cards.

In 2008, oil movement through the Strait of Hormuz accounted for 40 percent of all global seaborne-traded oil. [1]
When evaluated against total worldwide oil movement (including land-based pipelines and overland transit), the flows through the strait represented approximately 17 percent of all oil traded globally. [1]

2008 Transit Context

• • Daily Flow Volume: An average of roughly 16 to 17 million barrels per day of crude oil and refined petroleum products transited the chokepoint during the year.
  • Global Demand Shift: This period marked a historic peak for energy markets, with oil prices climbing to a record high of nearly $150 per barrel in mid-2008 before collapsing later that year due to the global financial crisis. [1, 2]

If you would like, I can provide a breakdown of the specific Gulf countries that contributed to this volume or compare these figures to current maritime transit levels.

Can they even reach Europe? Doubtful, unless they mean carrying out attacks from human attackers in Europe

Regardless though, the last thing Iran wants is for Europe to enter into the war with the US
